What programs are running in the background?

Well, if you're running a demanding program, it's completely normal. Without knowing what your computer is running, we can't tell if something is wrong.

If you have a lot of chrome tabs open, it's normal.

also I reinstalled windows 2 hours ago

My guess is there's a massive memory leak. After you're done installing the updates, reboot(you have to anyways) and see if the issue is fixed. I remember performing a disk check on one of my drives, cancelling it and having 10GB of RAM being consumed all of a sudden.

also my cpu runs hot and I plan to change thermal paste soon, could that cause cpu spikes?

You're doing windows updates; it's normal. Once you reboot it should go away.

How hot are we talking? And are you talking about CPU usage spikes?

[George18]

How hot are we talking? And are you talking about CPU usage spikes?

55-60 celsius under very low cpu usage and while playing games goes to 70 80 90 and sometimes even bit higher than that

You definitely want to take a look at that thermal paste. It could be dried up if it hasn't been touched in 5-6 years.
